Hire HR officers in the UAE

HR in the UAE runs on detail: WPS files, visa timelines, gratuity calculations and Emiratisation reports. We recruit HR officers who handle all of it accurately.

What a good HR shortlist includes

Shortlisted HR officers have hands-on UAE experience, tested knowledge of the labour law basics and the systems you use.

  • Onboarding and offboarding in the UAE
  • WPS payroll file preparation
  • Coordination with the PRO on MOHRE and visa steps
  • End-of-service gratuity calculations
  • Emiratisation reporting

How we test HR candidates

Candidates work through a short case: calculating end-of-service gratuity for a sample employee, planning a new joiner's first week including visa and insurance steps, and answering questions on leave and probation under the federal labour law.

UAE-based HR officers

An HR officer in the UAE handles the face-to-face side: inductions, employee relations conversations and visits with the PRO when needed. We match candidates to your company size, since HR for 30 people differs from HR for 300.

Remote HR coordinators

Recruitment administration, HRIS updates, payroll inputs and document tracking can be handled by a full-time remote HR coordinator in South Africa or the Philippines, supporting your UAE HR lead.

Questions employers ask

Do your HR candidates know UAE labour law?

We test practical knowledge of probation, leave, gratuity and WPS as part of screening.

Can HR work be done remotely?

Administrative HR work can. Employee relations and in-person processes are better handled by someone in the UAE.

Do you recruit HR officers for small companies?

Yes. For smaller companies we look for generalists comfortable covering payroll, visas and onboarding alone.

Can an HR officer help with Emiratisation reporting?

Yes. We look for candidates who have tracked Emirati headcount and worked with MOHRE requirements.
